OpalOrbiter+FollowWhy Don’t We Fund Women’s Health Enough?I’ve always wondered why women’s health research doesn’t get the funding it deserves. It feels like there’s so much we still don’t know, just because it’s not a priority. Anyone else frustrated by this? I think it’s time we start talking about it more. #WomensHealth #ResearchMatters #Health #BodyHealth82Share
Kathleen Lucas+FollowEndometriosis Finally Gets Its Own LabEndometriosis is one of the most misdiagnosed and misunderstood diseases out there, but that might finally change. A brand new research center just opened at Cold Spring Harbor Lab, dedicated entirely to figuring out this painful condition that affects up to 1 in 10 women. For years, women’s pain has been dismissed or mismanaged—now, scientists are on a mission to crack the code and develop better ways to diagnose and treat it. This could be a total game-changer for women’s health! #EndometriosisAwareness #WomensHealth #MedicalBreakthrough #ResearchMatters #Health493Share
Douglas Robinson+FollowPA’s Brain Drain: Eds & Meds in CrisisPennsylvania’s top hospitals and universities are facing a funding nightmare—massive federal cuts are threatening jobs, research, and even the local economy. With NIH grants frozen and budgets slashed, places like Penn, Pitt, and Penn State are laying off staff, freezing hires, and warning about a ‘brain drain’ as young talent looks elsewhere. The ripple effect? Fewer medical breakthroughs, lost jobs, and a hit to public health. Is this the end of PA’s reign as a research powerhouse? #FundingCrisis #EdsAndMeds #ResearchMatters #BrainDrain #PAnews #Health10Share
Benjamin Jackson+FollowNIH Pulls Plug on Major Women’s Health StudyThe NIH is cutting funding for the Women’s Health Initiative—the massive study that’s been tracking postmenopausal women’s health for 30 years. This means less research on aging, disease prevention, and treatments for millions of women. Scientists are freaking out, saying it’s a huge loss for women’s health and for young researchers. Plus, 42,000 women in the study might lose their connection to researchers. Feels like a major step backward for women’s health! #WomensHealth #NIH #ResearchMatters #ScienceNews #HealthEquity #Health71Share
Mr. Roy Ewing II+FollowWomen’s Health Still Gets the Short EndDid you know women’s health research still gets less than 10% of the NIH budget? Even though women make up half the population, their unique health needs are often sidelined. Most treatments were never even tested specifically for women! There’s a push for change (think: $15.7 billion more in funding), but it’s wild that in 2024, we’re still fighting for basic research on things like menopause or pregnancy. Time for women’s health to get the spotlight it deserves! #WomensHealth #NIH #HealthEquity #ResearchMatters #Healthcare #Health130Share
